OMG!!!!! This was spectacular!! I only used 4 chicken breasts, marinaded overnight. Cooked on an indoor skillet and basted with the remaining sauce as it cooked in a small pot on the stove. Absolutely amazing! Served this with the Orzo with Parmesan and Basil from this site and there were no leftovers!!!

This was yummy on fish prepared indoors. Beware, if you are using it to baste on a charcoal grill outside, don't skip the foil step. I handed this off to my husband to use on the chicken, and he quickly set our entire dinner on fire!

I marinated the chicken for about 10 hours instead of basting while it cooked, mainly because I have the tendency to catch whatever I'm grilling on fire, and I thought basting was pushing my luck LOL. I also used a grill pan which worked very well. This made very delicious chicken. Very flavorful. I think this would even be good in chicken tacos. Mmmmmmmm!! I think this is my new favorite marinade.

Wow was I surprised at how great this chicken was! When I combined the ingredients, it didn't really seem like much of a sauce, but it turned out sooo good. I marinated for only 1hr before. Definitely on my favs list! Thank you for posting!

It was good, but not exceptional. I doubled the recipe, but didn't double the salt. I also used thighs. Next time I'll use all the lemon zest and double the salt. I also used fresh Thyme.

This was outstanding! Very well balanced flavors. The chicken was moist and the flavor permeated well through the skinless, boneless breasts I used. I made a few substitutions, primarily because I didn't have all the ingredients on hand and some additions as well. First I substituted olive oil. I substituted for the marjoram with 1/2 as much dried oregano and also added a generous dash of ground cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of sage. I also used 2 tablespoons of finely minced fresh brown onions in place of the dried minced onions and doubled the garlic. Finally, I added two teaspoons of finely chopped fresh basil. I liberally punctured the breasts and marinated them in a resealable bag in the fridge for about three hours (longer would have been even better, but there was no lack of flavor) and grilled them on the barbecue. Served with Savory Herb Rice II on this website and sugar snap peas. This meal was absolutely delicious. You must try it! Make extra for leftovers because you regret it if you don't.
